Patronowi W Rocznicę Urodzin: Overture Bacewicz (+2 More)

Concert on the occasion of the 163rd anniversary of the birth of Ignacy Jan Paderewski - patron of the Pomeranian Philharmonic.

The overture for symphony orchestra by G. Bacewicz was written in 1943. It is considered the most representative of the artist's orchestral compositions. The work delights with its colorful vitality from the very first bars.

The Second Violin Concerto "Highlander" by JA Maklakiewicz was composed in 1952 during the composer's stay in Zakopane. While collecting material for the composition, Maklakiewicz listened to live highlander music and wrote it down himself. The concert contains fragments that can be interpreted as onomatopoeia of shepherd's instruments, such as trombits, Podhale bagpipes, and even shepherd's bells. The element of the mountains "sounds" in the piece, e.g. the effect of the mountain wind in the first movement. Concert .

The soloist of the evening will be Katarzyna Lassak, a violinist who made the first recording of Maklakiewicz's Concerto and presented it during the 30th String Festival "Masters of Polish Violinism" at the Zielona Góra Philharmonic.

Review in "Ruch Muzyczny" from the final concert:
"[...] Next was the neoclassical and folk-oriented 2nd "Highlander" Concerto by Jan Adam Maklakiewicz. This work from 1952, performed sporadically, was brought back to the public thanks to the young violinist Katarzyna Lassak (graduate of the FCUM), a native highlander from Zakopane. At the beginning, together with her sister and the FZ concertmaster, she performed the Zakopane accompaniment note, which was a great introduction to Maklakiewicz's composition, in which this note is quoted and creatively arranged. The concert had its ideal performer - a violinist who understood the music of its sources and its artistic rearrangements. It is expected that the piece will gain new concert life.” [Barbara Literska]

In the second part of the concert, L. van Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 in B flat major will be performed. The manuscript of the work is dated 1806, and the first performance took place in March 1807. Her cheerful, subtle character speaks strongly. Robert Schumann once called her "a slender Greek girl among the giants of the northern country."
